With a flash of golden sunlight, it shone on the crowd.
The light spilled out and the divine monk Huijue opened his eyes.
He had not been able to quiet his mind all night.
It was only because of the exchange with the divine monk Garan.
This time, the Buddhist sect’s journey to the east was definitely not a fleeting thought, but a plan that had been made for five hundred years.
Five hundred years ago, Little Thunder Sound Temple came down in defeat, and Tianzhu Temple rose up in tandem. And for the Buddhist school, whether it was Little Thunder Sound Temple or Tianzhu Temple, the greatest dream of all Buddhist disciples was in fact to spread Buddhism to every corner of the dusty realm.
But the most difficult place to spread Buddhism is the Middle Continent.
The Middle Continent rejected Buddhism, so much so that all the temples in the Western Continent wanted to promote Buddhism in the Middle Continent, and Tianzhu Temple carried the banner of the Buddhist sect.
It has been preparing for five hundred years, and these five hundred years have not only been spent preparing for the debate, but also preparing many back roads.
Some of these back roads were only done as a last resort.
And when these back roads were proposed, they received a lot of opposition, but five hundred years have pa*sed, and those who proposed them have died in the round.
What the divine monk Garan said yesterday meant that he intended to activate these plans that had been abandoned.
Any plan that can be abandoned by the Buddhist sect is not a good thing when you think about it.
Otherwise, they would not have been abandoned.
The divine monk Hui Jue did not want to go any farther than that, which was not a good thing for the world’s living beings.
It is even less a good thing for the Buddhist sect.
So.
Today, he had to win, he had to win, if he lost today, three days of debating the Dharma, losing two days in a row, thwarting the Buddhist sect’s qi, even if he won on the third day, it would be useless.
Thinking of this, the voice of the divine monk Huijue, slowly sounded out.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Today, the second dharma debate.”
“The inscription sutra debate.”
His voice rang out slowly, but it spread throughout the whole of Great Wei’s Kyoto.
And indeed, the people of Great Wei Kyoto had long since woken up.
Xu Qingnian had defeated the Buddhists yesterday, making them excited for the rest of the day, and the second debate of the Buddhists came today, naturally making them even more excited.
Everyone knew that if Xu Qingnian won today, the situation would basically be settled.
The Eastern Crossing would be considered a failure.
The Buddha Sect’s dream of invading the Central Continent could also be completely extinguished.
Wait for the next five hundred years.
But everyone knew that the Buddhist Sect’s methods were definitely more than that.
The inscription of the scriptures and the debate on the Dharma.
The true story can be seen.
As the divine monk Huijue opened his mouth, for a moment, the whole of Great Wei Kyoto was once again abuzz.
A pair of eyes looked on in anticipation of this debate.
In the King of Peace and Chaos’s residence.
Xu Qingnian also opened his eyes, and the Nine Golden Lotus emerged beneath his feet, slowly lifting him up.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Master Xu, today’s dharma debate is a competition of inscription sutras.”
“To show Master Xu a view of my Buddhist sect’s world of ultimate bliss.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke, no longer the usual debate of yesterday.
Verbal arguments were ultimately inferior, and whether one won or lost, one could not be convinced; after all, this world existed with immortals and Buddhas, with cultivators and martial artists.
The only way to convince people is to really show real ability.
Otherwise, how could one truly convince others by the power of words alone?
“Understood.”
Xu Qingnian nodded, Hui Xin had already informed him yesterday, so he understood what the inscription scripture debate meant.
Seeing Xu Qingnian’s calm gaze.
Divine Monk Hui Jue took a deep breath, he did not rush to inscribe the scriptures, but looked at Xu Qingnian and spoke once more.
“Master Xu, before debating the Dharma, the old ca*sock has some questions that he would like to ask the master.”
“I wonder if Master Xu can answer?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke up, still somewhat unconvinced by his loss in yesterday’s dharma debate.
After a night of pondering, he thought the reason for his loss was simple.
He had been too lightly defeated.
If he hadn’t been so gullible, he wouldn’t have been like this, and today he had taken Xu Qingnian seriously.
But he wanted to ask a few more questions, and if Xu Qingnian could still answer them, he would be convinced, at least in terms of argumentation.
Above the royal residence.
Xu Qingnian could see that the divine monk Huijue was upset, and he did not refuse, because what he wanted was to convince the divine monk.
Otherwise, it would be somewhat difficult to get the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus.
“Say.”
Xu Qingnian spoke indifferently, a word that was filled with confidence.
Once this word was said.
Divine Monk Hui Jue folded his hands and looked at Xu Qingnian with an appearance of compa*sion for the world.
“Dare I ask Master Xu.”
“Do you also have a butcher’s knife hidden in your heart?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke up, and this was his question.
When this was said, within Kyoto, the crowd frowned slightly.
They were somewhat curious, not understanding why the divine monk Hui Jue had suddenly asked such a question?
At the same time, they were also very curious as to how Xu Qingnian would answer?
“None.”
Above the royal residence, Xu Qingnian sat on top of a golden lotus and spoke calmly.
This was his answer, without any hesitation, he had a sword in his heart, but it was not a butcher’s sword, but a sword that killed and protected life
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Master Xu, you are blinded by the red dust, yesterday you butchered the sword of my Buddhist sect, did you not?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue shook his head, as if he had guessed that Xu Qingnian would answer in this way.
So he directly pointed out the sword with which Xu Qingnian had slaughtered Buddha yesterday.
Xu Qingnian said that he had a sword in his heart and asked himself to force out his heart sword, but in other words, did Xu Qingnian not have a butcher’s sword?
This was what he had thought about all night, only unfortunately, it had not immediately occurred to him yesterday.
At that moment, the divine monk Huijue continued to speak.
“If you have a butcher’s knife, you have an obsession, so why doesn’t Master Xu enter my Buddhist sect and dissolve the obsession, so as not to harm the innocent.”
These words were spoken.
Xu Qingnian slowly spoke.
“There is no sword in my heart.”
“Even if there was, the Buddha would not be able to deliver me.”
Xu Qingnian shook his head, looked at the divine monk Huijue, and replied thus.
“Master Xu, there is no obsession in this world that Buddha cannot dispel. Yesterday, Master Xu asked me why, by putting down the butcher’s knife, he could become a Buddha on the ground.”
“Today, the old ca*sock answers.”
“A butcher’s knife is not a butcher’s knife, an obsession is not an obsession, all obsessions are born from the heart, my Buddha has millions of laws, and I can dispel 3,000 thoughts in this world, Master Xu, this Buddhist debate is to universalize all beings.”
“If you fail to cross over to the east, the world will suffer innocently, and they will have to wait for countless years before they can listen to the Buddha’s teachings and open their wisdom, and understand that all beings are suffering, and cannot do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
“The sea of suffering is endless, turning back is the shore.”
“Master Xu, are you still not awake?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke, his voice, carrying the Dharma, and at this moment, he still chose to try to degenerate Xu Qingnian.
Because he did not want to continue fighting with Xu Qingnian, it was meaningless, today he was under tremendous pressure, and he wished to eliminate all hidden dangers before debating the Dharma.
Xu Qingnian was his greatest hidden trouble.
“The sea of suffering is endless, turning back is the shore.”
“Master Xu, still not awake?”
At the same time, the eight hundred scripture debating monks spoke in unison, their voices, deafening, wanting to enlighten Xu Qingnian.
“Noisy.”
In a flash, Xu Qingnian’s voice also rang out.
He had already been transmuted once before, and that time he almost fell into the path, although Chao Ge had said that with the blessing of the kingdom, it was impossible that he would be transmuted.
But that time, it did affect him, and indirectly, it also led to a strong resistance from anyone who was being transformed now.
Naturally, the monk Hui Jue’s transformation had no effect whatsoever.
A roar of rage rang out.
Xu Qingnian stepped on top of the Nine Golden Lotus as he looked at the group of Buddhist disciples, especially Divine Monk Huijue, with indifference in his eyes.
“Don’t pretend to have compa*sion for the world here.”
“Open your mouth and shut your mouth to the celestial beings.”
“Between this heaven and earth, no one can save the living beings, only save yourself, before you can save yourself.”
“Do you know why the King hates you?”
“If you really care about the living, why don’t you sow your seeds and plough your fields and give the food to the world when the autumn harvest comes, rather than putting your hands together and chanting Amitabha Buddha?”
“Your Buddhist paths are all Hinayana Buddhism.”
“If you are allowed to enter the Great Wei Dynasty, you will be a real scourge to the people.”
Xu Qingnian was truly furious.
It was not that he despised the Buddhist Dao, nor was it that he despised the Buddhist Sect, Xu Qingnian knew something about Buddhas.
A true Buddha would never open his mouth and shut his mouth about the world’s pale beings; they would not save them, but rather tell them how to save themselves.
They will not tell them how to save themselves. Nor will they talk about calamities, or say that if you do not believe in me, you will be in great trouble.
This kind of tactic is not even possible in Hinayana Buddhism.
It is nothing but a foolish and incomparable feudal religious tactic, and it is this that Xu Qingnian truly detests.
That was why he had an essential resistance to the Buddhism of the Western Continent.
“Unbridled.”
“Master Xu, we respect you as a half-saint of Confucianism, and we will not say a word more about the debate on the scriptures, but what is the meaning of Hinayana Buddhism? How dare you insult the very foundation of my Buddhist school?”
“You open your mouth and shut it, then dare I ask Master Xu, what is Mahayana Buddhism?”
“Amitabha Buddha, Master Xu, you have gone too far.”
At this moment, the eight hundred sutra debating monks spoke in unison, their faces filled with anger.
It was because of Xu Qingnian’s remark about the Hinayana Dharma.
Xu Qingnian had said it once before, but that was before they debated the Dharma, and at that time they thought they were sure to win, so they let Xu Qingnian show off his words.
But now that they had lost a dharma debate, they could not help but feel other emotions in their hearts, and when they heard the Hinayana Dharma again, they inexplicably felt sarcastic and harsh.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Master Xu, the butcher’s knife in your heart is about to be stained with blood, the Dharma should not be defied, you have the Buddha’s wisdom phase, you are the reincarnation of the eight heavenly dragons, you should not defy the Dharma in such a way.”
“There is no size of Dharma, there is no size of Buddha, this is the root of Buddhism.”
“Master Xu, I know that you hate Buddhism because my senior ca*sock brother once tried to reincarnate you, and this is indeed a bit offensive, but senior brother Hui Zheng is also doing it for the sake of the world and for your own good.”
“If Master Xu really hates Brother Huizheng, I am willing to apologize sincerely, and if Master Xu is not relieved, I am willing to give everything, even if I die, to appease Master Xu’s hatred and resentment.”
“I only hope that Master Xu can put down the butcher’s knife in his heart for the sake of the people of the world.”
The divine monk Hui Jue rose, and as he said this, he knelt deeply towards Xu Qingnian, his face was one of repentance and pleading.
This gesture.
It was disgusting.
Xu Qingnian had not expected that after a night had pa*sed, the divine monk Hui Jue would use this trick.
Considering his dislike for the Western Continent Buddhist Sect as his displeasure with Divine Monk Huizheng, thus portraying himself as a narrow-minded person, he even forced himself to say that he had a sword.
This tactic, which is too obvious, is nothing but an attempt to force oneself to lose one’s temper, and once one loses one’s temper, one will be born with one’s own butcher’s knife for real, as the divine monk Huijue did yesterday.
So the Huijue divine monk, holding on to this point, would not let go, wanting to use the same method to force the butcher’s knife out of his own heart.
This is the tactic of the divine monk Huijue.
To mess with Xu Qingnian’s daoist heart.
Because at this time, Xu Qingnian would have to explain, if he couldn’t explain, he would be sitting on the fact that he was discontented with the Buddhist sect.
With dissatisfaction, that’s why they are arguing the Dharma, losing the pure meaning of arguing the Dharma, then this fight, too, will be meaningless.
Even if the Buddhists lose, they will not lose their qi and will have a chance to regain their strength.
Debating the Dharma can be understood as proving to the heavens whose thoughts are more in line with the world, with the heavenly truth, and with the Great Way.
But if you argue the Dharma with resentment, you are impure-minded and contentious, instead of standing in a rational perspective to expound the will of heaven and earth and to understand the natural laws of the Great Dao, you will not be recognised by heaven and earth.
Thinking of this.
Xu Qingnian’s heart became even more disgusted with the Buddhist sect, the West Continent Buddhist sect, a sect that had yet to truly comprehend the Dharma.
“Don’t make a show of it.”
“The second debate on the Dharma, let’s begin.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, he did not want to waste time and finish the second Dharma debate as early as possible.
It was just that Xu Qingnian’s reply like this was an admission of defeat in the eyes of the Buddhist disciples.
In a moment, the eight hundred scripture debating monks spoke up one after another.
“May Master Xu, put down the butcher’s knife in his heart, become a Buddha on earth, and save all the living beings in the world, we would like to sit down and pa*s away in order to pacify the hatred and resentment in Master Xu’s heart.”
Eight hundred people spoke out, their voices loud and clear, spreading to every part of the capital of Great Wei.
In particular, the divine monk Huijue was surrounded by a surge of Buddhist light, truly ready to pa*s away at any moment.
If you can’t play the game, you’ll have to use the dark side.
“Where is the sword?”
Xu Qingnian asked indifferently.
“The sword is in my heart.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke out.
“No.”
Xu Qingnian replied indifferently.
“There is.”
“Master Xu might as well take a closer look to see if there is a sword.”
The voice of Divine Monk Hui Jue was stirring, asking Xu Qingnian to look down at the sword.
However Xu Qingnian snorted coldly.
He knew the other party’s tricks.
If one looked down, then there would be a butcher’s knife.
For one’s heart was shaken, and if one was not shaken, how could one go and look?
“There is no need to look.”
“There must be none.”
Xu Qingnian spoke up and replied.
“How do you know there is none if you don’t look?”
“Master Xu, you dare not look at it, you are already running away from it, you dare not look at it because the slaughter knife is in your heart, if you really have no knife, why do you not dare to look at it?”
The divine monk Hui Jue continued to press, and even more so, he blocked Xu Qingnian’s path directly.
If you look, your heart will be shaken and the butcher’s knife will be revealed.
If you don’t look, you will escape from your heart, and it will still be true.
This was another dead end.
The means of the divine monk Hui Jue was dirty, but indeed very sharp, trying to use this way, to suppress himself.
Continuing yesterday’s debate, he used this round to pull back.
“Why do you need to see if your heart is right?”
Xu Qingnian continued to speak, his tone calm.
But this gave people the impression that Xu Qingnian was a bit weak-minded.
“If your heart is right, why don’t you dare to look?”
At that very moment, a voice rang out, but it was not that of the divine monk Huijue.
Rather, it was the voice of Wang Chaoyang.
It was.
It was Wang Chaoyang’s voice.
A voice that came from the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature.
Wang Chaoyang, who had been silent, came through at this moment, and was clearly helping the divine monk Hui Jue.
Putting pressure on, forcing Xu Qingnian to bow down.
He understood the purpose of the Huijue Divine Monk and also thought that Xu Qingnian was weak-minded, so at this crucial moment, he forced Xu Qingnian to bow down, otherwise, it wouldn’t have much effect if this tug of war went on.
Xu Qingnian would lose a little and the monk would win a little.
But if it could be proven that Xu Qingnian also had a butcher’s knife in his heart, it would be proof of everything that Monk Huijue had said before.
Then the second debate, no matter what, was half won by the Monk of Huijue.
Because of yesterday’s debate, one person would win half.
After all, the debate is not about who answers more questions, it is a battle of legal principles.
Often the crucial one question, if it can convince the other, beats all the previous ones.
Now, it came down to this crucial moment.
What was unexpected was that at such a crucial moment, Wang Chaoyang suddenly spoke up and took the initiative to interject and help Divine Monk Hui Jue find trouble with Xu Qingnian.
In an instant.
Several voices followed suit.
“What does this debate have to do with you? Need you open your mouth?”
The first voice was that of Duke An, who also understood what trouble Xu Qingnian was in, and now when he heard Wang Chaoyang open his mouth, he was naturally unconvinced and came up directly to angrily rebuke the other party.
“Didn’t Wang Yasheng say that he would not participate in the debate on the law? Why are you talking nonsense at this time? Can a sub-saint keep his word?”
Chen Zhengru’s voice also followed, with dissatisfaction, accusing the other party.
“Is that how you are still a sage? What does it matter to you if you say you won’t participate when you don’t keep your word?”
Gu Yan and the others’ voices also followed.
A sub-sage, they respected, but if they went against Xu Qingnian, it would be embarra*sing, a sage would scold, let alone a sub-sage?
The unity of the court filled the people of Kyoto with joy, after all, they did not want Xu Qingnian to suffer either.
The people were also very disgusted with this Wang Chaoyang in particular. After all, it was not because of the disgusting things this Wang Chaoyang did?
The Buddhists came to debate the Dharma and he did not participate.
Now Xu Qingnian is debating with the Buddhists and Wang Chaoyang is involved again? And even if he doesn’t help his own people, he is still targeting them?
He was really a beast.
“This Saint is only standing on reason.”
“In the matter of debating the Dharma, this Saint did say that he would not participate, but what is the point of Xu Qingnian’s meaningless evasion like this?”
“Xu Qingnian, since you want to argue the law, you should seriously argue the law, if you can argue it, then argue it, if you cannot argue it, what is the point of forcing it?”
Wang Chaoyang’s voice was casual, he did not care about the rebuke from the crowd, after all, he did have some abruptness, but asking him to make an apology would definitely not work, so he replied casually, while not forgetting to speak up and ridicule Xu Qingnian for evading.
“You’re coming?”
On the Wang Mansion, Xu Qingnian looked at the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace, his gaze directly penetrating everything and landing on Wang Chaoyang.
You do it, you go on.
Hearing these words, Wang Chaoyang laughed coldly.
“This Saint has said that he will not participate in the debate on the law.”
He opened his mouth and the first thing he said was to make sure that he would not participate in the debate, only before the next sentence was uttered, Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
“Then what are you barking for?”
The voice rang out.
Wang Chaoyang’s handsome face instantly went cold, and his eyes revealed a cold intent among them.
“Ridiculous.”
Wang Chaoyang opened his mouth and sneered coldly.
Boom.
A battle spear condensed by the Extreme Martial Demon Subduing Force appeared and directly blasted into the Heaven and Earth Cultural Palace.
The Palace of Literature burst into light, blocking Xu Qingnian’s attack.
Xu Qingnian naturally couldn’t hurt the Palace of Literature, it was just an attitude.
“Xu Qingnian, you have repeatedly struck out at my Palace of Literature, are you really not afraid that this Saint will be furious?”
Wang Chaoyang spoke out, his face not looking too good, Xu Qingnian’s attack did not affect the Heaven and Earth Literature Palace in any way, but to him, it was a disgrace.
The Heaven and Earth Literature Palace was sacred and magnificent, and in his opinion, the world should pay homage when they came to the Heaven and Earth Literature Palace, yet Xu Qingnian dared to provoke the Literature Palace.
This made him extremely unhappy.
“Then you are not afraid of me?”
But at that very moment, the Empress’ voice rang out, not hesitating to stand out and give an answer.
This was Great Wei.
It was not the Hao Ran Dynasty, and the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature was, to put it nicely, a Palace of Literature, but to put it badly, wasn’t it just a property of Great Wei?
If you really annoy the Empress, you will be responsible for the consequences.
As expected, when he heard the Empress’ voice, Wang Chaoyang was somewhat silent.
He was not afraid of the empress, but he did not want to take the matter to this level again.
To put it bluntly, the people behind him, too, would not allow him to do so.
Thinking of this, Wang Chaoyang took a deep breath, he did not speak anymore and chose to shut up.
Only in his heart, Wang Chaoyang remembered the Great Wei Empress, there was no way he would not take revenge for this.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Master Xu, since you don’t dare to look straight at it, you are running away from it, the butcher’s knife has already been shown, so why do you need to slyly argue?”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke up and continued to steer the conversation here, not wanting Xu Qingnian to muddle through.
“There is no butcher’s knife in my heart, so why do I need to look at it?”
Xu Qingnian continued with this answer.
But this answer, in everyone’s eyes, was an evasion, and a very strong one at that.
The more Xu Qingnian evaded, the more the divine monk Hui Jue felt that he had the victory in hand.
“Master Xu, the butcher’s knife in your heart has been completely revealed, whether you evade or not, it will not change.”
“Today, I would like to pa*s away here, in order to pacify the anger in Master Xu’s heart.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke, he was addicted to rounding up, wanting to use his own death to fulfill himself and the Buddhist sect.
One cannot say that the divine monk Hui Jue was shameless; after all, he would rather commit suicide for the sake of the Buddhist sect.
But to say that the divine monk Hui Jue was good, Xu Qingnian could not give birth to a single thought.
This kind of person was too foolish.
His obsession was too deep.
Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian could not help but sigh.
The fact that the Divine Monk Hui Jue had come this far was proof enough of one thing: the Buddhist Sect could not afford to lose, and his confidence of invincibility had faltered.
“The heart is a bodhi tree, the body is a clear mirror platform.”
“A clear mirror is originally pure, where can it stain the dust.”
“There is no tree in the bodhi tree, nor is the mirror a platform.”
“There is no such thing as a bodhi tree, so where can one stir up dust?”
Xu Qingnian spoke slowly.
His voice was not loud, but it was full of Zen meaning.
There is no tree for the Bodhi, nor is there a mirror for the mirror, there is nothing in the beginning, where can one stir up dust?
This is a Buddhist verse, indicating that there are no distracting thoughts in one’s own mind, and it also happens to respond to the other party’s obsession.
When the voice rang out.
At this moment, a pale green light rippled behind Xu Qingnian.
In a flash.
A Bodhi tree appeared behind Xu Qingnian.
The Bodhi Tree grew with the naked eye, instantly turning into a gigantic tree, evolving behind Xu Qingnian, rippling with a heavy light.
The tree was shaded by willows, and each branch, emitting an inexplicable power, was suffused with Buddhist light, not blinding but extremely dazzling and radiant.
This was the Bodhi tree, which the Buddhists regard as a wisdom tree, representing the symbol of opening wisdom and knowing wisdom.
At this moment, people were stunned.
“This is the Bodhi tree?”
“A Buddhist bodhi tree?”
“Well, well, well, well, a good line about there being nothing in the first place, and where to stir up dust.”
“Wonderful, wonderful, there is nothing in the beginning, where to stir up dust, well said.”
“There is no butcher’s knife in itself, where is the saying, only when you have a butcher’s knife in your own heart will you think that others have one.”
“This reply is simply excellent.”
People applauded, Xu Qingnian’s reply was simply a masterpiece.
You are so obsessed with whether Xu Qingnian has a butcher’s knife in his heart, because you are obsessed with having a butcher’s knife in your heart.
Why didn’t Xu Qingnian look at it? It’s because he doesn’t have a butcher’s knife in his heart, so why should he look?
Why look at something that is not there in the first place? Wouldn’t you have it if you looked?
This is righteousness.
With these words, the divine monk Hui Jue was completely frozen in place. He wanted to force himself to death, but he did not expect that Xu Qingnian would defuse his attack so easily.
And it wasn’t just a simple dissolution, it was a killing blow.
There was nothing in the first place, and there was nothing to stir up the dust.
With one sentence, all of his attacks were completely dissolved, and he made himself a joke.
His own heart, and still saying that others have problems.
This was simply a disgrace.
In particular, the Bodhi Ancient Tree that evolved behind Xu Qingnian was a succession of visions.
The Bodhi Tree blossomed with endless light, swirling with the light of wisdom.
There was even a Buddhist voice bursting forth, reciting what Xu Qingnian had just said.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
The divine monk Hui Jue took a deep breath, knowing that he had completely failed in arguing the Dharma.
In terms of Buddhist theory, he could not argue with Xu Qingnian.
He had lost.
A complete and utter loss.
“Ming Sutra.”
In an instant, Divine Monk Hui Jue roared out, since he could not argue with Xu Qingnian in Buddhist theory, the next step was to truly see the real thing.
At this moment, Divine Monk Huijue’s surplice shook.
A celestial stone tablet was formed.
Behind him, eight hundred scripture debating monks used their Buddhist power as a brush and began to inscribe various words.
“Master Xu, today’s contest, inscribing scriptures and debating the Dharma, I don’t want to take advantage of you, if you choose to admit defeat now, it will be considered a draw.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke, he looked at Xu Qingnian, still not wishing to go this far, but if Xu Qingnian was still going to be obstinate, he did not mind letting Xu Qingnian know what Western Continent Buddhism was.
“Nonsense.”
Xu Qingnian spoke coldly, not bothering to talk nonsense to this Huijue.
“Good.”
“Show the Dharma of my Buddhist sect.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue had completely broken off his intention to make peace.
Since Xu Qingnian had to make him go this far, he didn’t care about anything else.
At this moment, the Buddhist sutra was inscribed.
The Buddha’s dharma was through the sky.
The golden Buddha Dharma shone through everything, diffusing in a single layer and rippling into ripples.
In an instant, everywhere the Buddha’s light pa*sed, golden lotuses sprang up, breeding spiritual beasts, mountains and streams of water, a fairy land on earth, with the Buddha’s light spilling down, looking extremely beautiful.
Vast Buddhist voices also slowly resounded.
“The extremely happy Buddha realm, where there is no sickness, no sorrow, where the world turns to goodness, where there are endless spiritual springs, as vast as the sea, where the Buddha stands in the centre, reflecting the Dharma and solving people’s problems ……”
The voice of the divine monk Hui Jue rang out.
He opened his mouth and informed the world what this place was.
The sutra shone brightly, a scripture that had taken five hundred years to inscribe on the Western Continent.
Showing the world the Extremely Blissful Buddha Realm.
The appearance of the Ultimate Buddha Realm.
From beneath the feet of the divine monk Huijue, the Buddha’s light spreads out, spreading over ten thousand miles and transforming into a world of Buddha.
Here everyone saw the most beautiful scene in the world, and there were even Buddhas chanting sutras, washing away the worries in people’s hearts.
People could not help but be happy.
This tactic is, indeed, terrifying.
After all, seeing is believing, hearing is not believing. No matter how much the Buddhist sect in the Western Continent brags about how wonderful it is, it is ultimately not as good as seeing is believing.
Five hundred years ago, the Buddha Sect suffered such a great loss.
Therefore, for these five hundred years, the Tianzhu Temple has been thinking about this matter, and for this reason they have spent five hundred years of their lives inscribing this sutra to reflect the Western Continent’s Ultimate Bliss World.
When the vision appeared at this moment.
A palace appeared, each one, looking incomparably luxurious, where people seemed to be able to live the best life without worries.
At this moment.
Within the capital of Great Wei, there was no telling how many people revealed a look of longing.
Who wouldn’t want to live in a place like this? Who would not want to live in such a place? Free of worries, listening to the Dharma, not subject to change, not subject to suffering.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“This is my Western Continent’s Ultimate Bliss Buddha Realm, those who enter my Buddhist sect can avoid all disasters and be carefree, those who enter my Buddhist sect can listen to the Buddha’s chanting and eliminate their sins, and those who enter my Buddhist sect can be reborn in Ultimate Bliss.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke, and when the vision appeared, his heart gradually calmed down.
This was because the countless people of Kyoto were basically showing a look of incomparable yearning.
“Huijue, you really have good intentions, spending five hundred years to inscribe such scriptures just to deceive the world.”
Daoist Wudu’s voice was the first to ring out.
Looking at this kind of Buddhist world, how could Daoist Dustless not be angry?
It was not that he was sour, but this kind of world of bliss was purely a deception, where in this world was such a world?
When there really was such a world, it could not be that one could just say that one could join a Buddhist sect?
All the major schools of thought use this approach to fool the world, but it is written down in books, so that everyone can just look at them.
Whether you are an immortal, a Buddhist or a Confucian, you all know what you really want.
Power, wealth, status, longevity, all of these factors are inseparable.
Even if someone really wants to save the world, what is the purpose? Isn’t it also to leave a good name for a thousand lifetimes?
Even if it was Xu Qingnian, why did he make great efforts to develop the Great Wei? Why did he place so much importance on the people?
The reason is that Xu Qingnian wanted to make Wei rise, so that he could enjoy his old age in peace, without war and chaos, so that the people could live happily and not worry about anything.
The people are the foundation of the country, which is why Xu Qingnian is like this.
Why else? Because he has a Bodhisattva’s heart? Is that possible?
Now, in order to expand its influence, the Buddhist sect inscribes such scriptures to create a world of illusion and make the world believe in Buddha.
No, it should be extremely disgusting.
The world is easily deceived by this kind of thing, and the Buddhists are too good at it, gathering visions and creating a world of bliss, but this world of bliss is, as anyone who knows anything about it knows, a fake.
It is pure deception.
I thought it was an inscription of the scriptures, promoting the profundity of Buddhism, but I didn’t expect to play this kind of trick?
It is really disgusting.
“Using such tactics to deceive the world, is this the practice of the Western Continent Buddhist Sect?”
“Five hundred years, you have been planning for five hundred years to deceive the world like this?”
“Don’t believe it, it’s just a blindfold, what’s it worth?”
At this moment, the Immortal Sect couldn’t sit still.
Even if the Buddhists win the debate, there is nothing to say. After all, you are using Buddhism to argue against everyone, and the people will only think that Buddhism is more profound.
But it is still unlikely that the people will believe in Buddhism, it will attract some of them, but it is impossible to attract all of them.
But now it is different.
You have evolved the so-called Ultimate Buddha Realm, which to others is simply a fairy land.
Just ask, who wouldn’t want to enter such a world?
Moreover, people inherently die, even emperors will one day grow old and die.
Not to mention the common people, would they be indifferent in front of life and death?
If one could enter such a world after death, who would not want to enter the Buddhist sect?
But the question is, is there such a world?
After all, they have worked so hard to cultivate Buddhism for so many years, if they didn’t have it, wouldn’t they have done it in vain?
So they are certain that the Buddhists have a world of ultimate bliss, and now that it has been evolved, it will only make the Buddhist disciples more excited and more certain in their Buddhist practice, and they will also work harder to enlighten their followers.
These believers, in turn, will be deluded by this vision, and thus become instruments of the Buddha’s faith.
This tactic is like taking some natural phenomenon and bragging about it as a Buddhist vision, such as a rainbow appearing in the mountains after a heavy rain.
Then it is said to be the light of Buddha.
Just this kind of thing can make people believe it, let alone the vision at hand.
The strongest members of the Immortal Sect couldn’t sit still, they hadn’t counted on the Buddha Sect to use such tactics, but they were asked to stop it.
But they couldn’t stop it.
After all, this was a vision, and they couldn’t even stop it if they wanted to.
“Buzz.”
The next moment.
In the midst of the vision, the Buddha stopped chanting and a Buddha sounded, and in an instant, heavenly might filled the air like a thunderous sound, causing one’s body to tremble.
Daoist Wudu, Jian Wuji and the others’ faces changed, their bodies trembled and their Qi and blood boiled, but they were not injured.
But they were shocked as to why the vision could affect them.
This could not be.
A vision, a transformation of the form of heaven and earth, could actually be understood as a celestial phenomenon, just like the wind and rain.
It is impossible for a vision to hurt people, it is just an evolutionary process.
However, the vision that the Buddhists had coalesced had caused them to actually feel the terrifying pressure of the heavenly might.
Being of the first rank, they were naturally not afraid, but they were just a little shocked at this tactic.
If they were able to gather a vision to behead people, wouldn’t they be able to perfectly control the power of heaven and earth?
The most powerful force in this world was the power of heaven and earth.
All systems to the first grade are also related to the power of heaven and earth, and Confucianism has the most perfect control, so the Confucian system is superior to all.
There is even a saying that a saint is the embodiment of heaven and earth.
This saying is somewhat exaggerated, but it can also illustrate the power of the sage.
“Don’t blaspheme the true Buddha.”
“Five hundred years ago, my Buddhist school failed to debate the Dharma, and afterwards I understood the true meaning of the Dharma and enlightened the world of ultimate bliss.”
“This world of bliss is the creation of the true Buddha and is the ultimate home of my Buddhist disciples.”
“Amitabha Buddha, if you do not believe me, you can enter my Buddhist sect and find out what is going on then.”
The confidence of the divine monk Hui Jue returned.
How could he not be excited when the vision appeared and ten thousand miles were transformed into the pure land of Buddhism?
Such a terrifying vision was no weaker than all of Xu Qingnian’s previous visions.
Five hundred years of research, five hundred years of heart and soul, were all on display at this moment.
But just at that moment.
The Buddha’s light blossomed even brighter.
The central Buddha appeared, pinching the Buddha’s seal and looking at the beings, only this Buddha’s shadow was difficult to see, appearing indistinct, yet appearing different and extremely extraordinary.
“Master Xu.”
“Enter my Buddhist sect and you may live forever.”
“Enter my Buddhist sect and be cut off from all worries.”
“Enter my Buddhist sect and you can cleanse your mind.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke as he looked at Xu Qingnian and displayed his Buddhist kingdom.
However.
This kind of scene did not make Xu Qingnian change in any way, instead, he became even quieter.
But if I had to say it, Xu Qingnian was in deep thought.
Looking at the pensive Xu Qingnian, Divine Monk Hui Jue became somewhat excited, he mistakenly thought that Xu Qingnian’s heart had already moved, and at that moment, he could not help but continue to speak.
“Xu Shih, you have my Buddhist sect’s wisdom phase, if you join my Buddhist sect and protect the dao for my Buddhist sect, in the future you can enjoy my Buddhist sect’s qi not to mention.”
“Moreover, you may also become a Bodhisattva, you are a Buddhist Eight Heavenly Dragons, and one step up, you will be a perfection of wisdom and a Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Sect, which is a supreme great merit.”
“Master Xu, look at my Buddhist sect’s world of ultimate bliss, if you were in such a world, would you still have any worries? Would you still have any anxiety?”
“You wouldn’t have, enter my Buddhist sect, Master Xu.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue kept speaking, he wanted Xu Qingnian to enter the Buddhist sect, he extremely wanted Xu Qingnian to enter the Buddhist sect.
If Xu Qingnian were to enter the Buddhist Sect, then things would really be different, the Buddhist Sect would be able to directly enter Great Wei, this was an unparalleled merit.
It would have accomplished what the Buddhists in the Western Continent had wanted to do for tens of thousands of years, but had not yet done.
But what disappointed Divine Monk Hui Jue was this.
Xu Qingnian was thinking not about entering the Buddhist sect or not, but about which scripture he should bring out.
But at that very moment, the voice of the divine monk Hui Jue rang out once more.
“Master Xu.”
“Wake up.”
Along with the voice of the divine monk Hui Jue, Xu Qingnian could not help but wake up from his contemplation.
Within the capital of Great Wei, many people were a little nervous, and they were also a little afraid that Xu Qingnian had really moved on.
Some people wanted to speak out to persuade him, but in the end they did not speak, after all, this was Xu Qingnian’s own business and they could not interfere.
Looking at the divine monk Huijue.
Xu Qingnian let out a long sigh.
“Do you know why this king said that you and the others are lesser Buddhists?”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and looked at the Huijue divine Monk and said so.
When he said this, Divine Monk Hui Jue was a little dazed, not understanding what Xu Qingnian meant.
He looked at Xu Qingnian with curiosity in his eyes, truly not understanding.
“Master Xu has not thoroughly understood the Buddha’s teachings, so he mistakenly thought that this was the Hinayana Buddha’s teachings, and that there is no size of Buddha.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue gave his reply, but he did not fall for it and still insisted on believing that there was no size of Buddha, and that it was Xu Qingnian himself who did not understand, and only then did he say that there was a size of Buddha Dharma.
The mouth of the divine monk Hui Jue was really the hardest in the world.
“Wrong.”
The next moment, Xu Qingnian spoke out coldly.
“What’s wrong with that?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue frowned and looked at Xu Qingnian.
“There is no size of Buddha, but there are sizes of Dharma. Your Western Continent Dharma is a small Dharma, and the Dharma world that you have evolved is just a blindfold, the real Dharma world is not like this.”
Xu Qingnian spoke up and gave a counter-attack.
Only when he said this, the divine monk Hui Jue shook his head, his eyes were sad and bitter, looking at Xu Qingnian as if he was looking at a child who was obsessed and caught in the mud.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Master Xu, you clearly have my Buddhist wisdom phase, yet why are you so stubbornly obsessed, ah, where is this a Hinayana Buddha Dharma, where is this a Mahayana Buddha Dharma.”
“And this is my Buddha’s Ultimate Bliss World, which is recognised by heaven and earth, so why does Master Xu still need to argue?”
“I have failed to argue the Dharma and have admitted it one by one, so if you lose, you lose. Don’t be narrow-minded, karma is on your side.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke, and the meaning of his words was actually one sentence.
You Xu Qingnian cannot afford to lose.
“Ridiculous.”
“The technique of blocking people’s eyes and ears is an unorthodox technique of Hinayana Buddhism.”
Xu Qingnian laughed lightly.
“Unbridled.”
“Xu Qingnian, you have gone too far.”
“The Buddha’s teachings have been revealed and the visions have evolved, are you still talking tough?”
“We argue the Dharma but we admit it one by one, right is right and wrong is wrong, Master Xu is ridiculous for not admitting defeat.”
“If you talk about Hinayana, then please tell me what is Mahayana Buddhism?”
“Yes, you despise our Dharma so much, you keep saying that our Dharma is a Hinayana Dharma, then tell us what is a Mahayana Dharma?”
“There is no size of Dharma, you are really blinded by karma.”
The eight hundred scripture debating monks spoke in unison, verbally denouncing Xu Qingnian, each one like an angry vajra.
In their view, Xu Qingnian had really gone too far.
They were extremely unhappy because they were always talking about the lesser and the greater, looking down on them in every way.
“Shut up.”
Xu Qingnian shouted, and the Hao Ran Wen Zhong emerged, sending out a burst of bell sounds to drown out their clamour.
“Mahayana Buddhism, the time is not yet ripe to bring it out and you will not understand it.”
“However, this king will make you all lose in conviction.”
“Today, this king invites the true body of the Buddha to break up your ultimate bliss.”
Xu Qingnian spoke up repeatedly, these scripture debating monks were really a bit rampant, and they dared to be so arrogant in the territory of Great Wei.
Since this was the case, then Xu Qingnian would not be polite.
At this moment.
Xu Qingnian was standing on top of a ninth-grade Buddha lotus, with the ancient Bodhi tree behind him swirling with three thousand Buddhist teachings, and the Hao Ran Wen Zhong hanging above his head, dropping hundreds of millions of violet haozheng qi, baking him like a god.
Everyone’s eyes could not help but look towards Xu Qingnian, and the disciples of the Buddhist sect were also staring at him with dead eyes.
There was not a single pair of eyes up and down Kyoto that were not looking at him.
It was also at this moment.
The magnificent sound of chanting sutras rang out.
“As I have heard: at one time, the Buddha was living in the Jaina Mountains of the king’s shed city, with a great multitude of twenty thousand bhikkhus, all arhats, with all their omissions gone, without further worries, having caught their own benefits, having finished all their knots, and having attained freedom.”
“Their names are: Arundhara, Mahakala, Yurubinra, Kaya, Natyakala, Shariputra, Mahamudra, Mahakalanta, Avalokiteshvara, Robina, Marriage of Varnabhuti, Libra, Bhringapatra, Bhagavata, Mahabharata, Nandha, Sundara Nandha, Fulanamitra, Subhuti, Ananda, Rahula, and so on, all of whom know the great Arhats and so on.”
With that, this magnificent Buddha sounded.
Suddenly.
Heaven and earth, at this moment, changed completely.
Boom, boom, boom.
Thunder rumbled loudly, gusts of wind swept through the whole of Great Wei Kyoto, and the sky changed completely.
Above the vault of heaven.
A golden auspicious cloud appeared, shining with an unparalleled golden light, and landed in the middle of Kyoto.
An incomparably magnificent Buddha’s body appeared above the vault of the sky, a Buddha’s body, ten thousand feet in size, rendering the sky golden.
The Buddha’s light shone universally, reflecting up and down the Great Wei. Unparalleled Buddha’s light gushed out from the ground like an ocean, sweeping over everything.
In an instant, a shadow of Buddha appeared, and every time Xu Qingnian recited a name, a Buddha appeared, surrounding the central Buddha.
This was the true body of Rudra.
The ten-thousand-foot true body, gradually solidifying, a golden dragon soared out of the clouds, appearing lifelike, and surrounded the Buddha.
Twelve golden lotuses were beneath the Buddha, and the ten-thousand-character Buddha seal was branded on the true body of Rudra.
Sanskrit sounds were incessantly chanted, resonating through every inch of the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth.
The demons of heaven and earth trembled at this moment, revealing a look of unparalleled fear, their bodies trembling, this vast Buddhist power making them feel desperate.
The land of the Western Continent.
All the temples, too, at this moment, all erupted with a terrifying Buddhist light that shot up into the sky.
The Buddha statues, too, evolved into a single Buddha, surrounding Rudra’s true form, but they could not get close, they could only worship from afar, at a distance.
These were the true spirits of the Buddhas of the Western Continent, and they appeared, unqualified to stand beside the true body of Rudra, and could only watch from afar, like disciples of the Sand Sect, kneeling in the void, looking at the Buddha and trembling.
“The true body of Rudra?”
“This ……. This ……. This can’t be.”
“Xu Qingnian actually evolved the true body of the Buddha? This is impossible.”
“How is it possible, how is it possible, how could he have mirrored my Buddha’s Rudra?”
Goo! Goo! Goo!
A sound of gulping saliva rang out as the eight hundred scripture debating monks were completely dumbfounded at this moment, gulping their saliva and unable to say another word.
They gulped their saliva and could not say another word. The real Buddha had come, how dare they say anything?
Who dared to say anything to Rudra?
In the middle of the Western Continent, the divine monk Garan sensed this scene, and his face revealed bitterness, unparalleled bitterness ah.
“Why is Xu Qingnian not a disciple of my Buddhist sect, ah.”
In the middle of the treasure hall, the Garan divine monk let out a voice, a voice that was full of hardness and bitterness.
And within the Tianzhu Temple, all the monks were also startled, as they looked in the direction of the Great Wei Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of miles across the sky, and could see the true body of Rudra.
No one dared to say a word more as they all knelt down in unison and bowed towards Rulai.
In the territory of the Western Continent, the people all knelt down too, kowtowing and worshipping towards Rudra, from the kings down to the people, no one dared to be disrespectful to Rudra.
In the Little Thunder Sound Temple.
A magnificent sound also came from it.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“The true body of the Buddha has been revealed, Xu Shouren is the supreme reincarnation of the Buddha, the Buddha’s son as well.”
“Pa*s on the order of the old ca*sock, all disciples of my Buddhist sect, see Xu Shouren as if he were the true Buddha, do not offend, do not contradict.”
As the voice of the Little Thunder Sound Temple rang out, the world was completely shocked and boiled.
Although Little Leiyin Temple had fallen into decline and did not have the same grandeur as it did back then, he was still the second Buddhist temple in the Western Continent and had a very high status. In a sense, Little Leiyin Temple was actually still the number one temple in the hearts of many Buddhist disciples.
What was unexpected was that Little Thunder Sound Temple would say these words, recognising Xu Qingnian as the Buddha’s son and the reincarnation of the Supreme Buddha.
Whether Xu Qingnian recognised it or not, this status received a huge boost.
Before, he was still the reincarnation of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, but now he was directly the reincarnation of the Supreme Buddha.
It was superior to everything.
The status was transcendent at the top.
Buzzing and buzzing.
In an instant, within the Tianzhu Temple, a demon-subduing pestle rose to the sky, erupting into a terrifying pillar of Buddhist light, forming a pillar of light that flew towards the Great Wei Dynasty and was enthroned within the true body of Rudra.
A string of rosary beads also rose into the air, like a demon-subduing pestle, and evolved into a small world, releasing an unparalleled amount of Buddhist light that poured into the true body of the Buddha.
There is also the Vajra Mantle, which is even more voluminous with Buddha’s light, like a flood of water.
These are the three great Buddhist vessels of the Buddha school, supreme Dharma vessels, which are now startled by the True Body of Rudra and give their first response.
It is recognition of the true body of Rudra.
Great Wei Kyoto.
In the Palace of Heaven and Earth Literature, Wang Chaoyang watched all this with dumbfounded eyes.
He knew that the Buddhists were debating the Dharma today, inscribing scriptures to compel the world, but what he didn’t expect was that Xu Qingnian could actually chant such a scripture and summon out the true body of Rudra?
What’s the point of playing this game?
Even if the Buddhists were strong, they couldn’t be stronger than Xu Qingnian.
“What is Xu Qingnian’s origin?”
“Why does he know both Confucianism, Immortalism, and Buddhism?”
At this moment, Wang Chaoyang was also a little confused, Xu Qingnian was like a deep invisible well, never knowing what else Xu Qingnian knew.
“It’s the Great Sage, it’s the Great Sage’s concept of Buddhism, yes, these are the Great Sage’s concept of Buddhism, Xu Qingnian took my grandfather’s things and pretended they were his own.”
“When there is really no Confucian character.”
Wang Chaoyang really didn’t understand anymore, he couldn’t figure out how Xu Qingnian could be like this.
In the end, he attributed all the problems to his own grandfather.
It was Xu Qingnian who stole the Great Sage’s inheritance, and these were the inheritance of the Great Sage, except that there was one thing he selectively ignored, and that was that in the Heaven and Earth Palace of Literature, there was nothing about Buddhism at all.
Even a great sage might not necessarily know about Buddhism.
It’s just that some people are like that, they are only willing to see the side they want to see, as for everything else, they are selectively blind, and there are quite a few of these people, extremely many of them.
Just as in the official world in general, who would think that a fellow officer is more talented than they are? Isn’t it all work that gets you to the top?
And inside the palace.
The officials clenched their fists and looked at Xu Qingnian, their eyes filled with joy and excitement.
In particular, the Duke of An even took a deep breath and said.
“I have long said that Shouren is unpredictable, and indeed I have guessed it.”
“Alas, it is only a pity that Shouren has encountered too much trouble, no, we will have to step in next and block these troublesome matters for Shouren, so that Shouren can spend more time to the Ministry of War.”
“Now that the country has stabilised, the grain harvest is getting better and better, and the country’s fortunes are prospering, it is already qualified for the Northern Expedition.”
“We need to give Shouren something to do, so that he can study and research the Ministry of War, and perhaps Shouren will be able to develop some large war weapons and stamp out the barbarians when the time comes.”
The Duke of An Guo said with unbridled excitement.
It was only when these words were spoken that the empress was slightly silent, for Xu Qingnian was already developing them and had come up with results.
In King Huai Ning’s residence.
Looking at Rulai’s real body.
Prince Huaining revealed a smile, not a bitter one, but a helpless one.
He knew it.
He knew it.
You just can’t be that confident, can you, Xu Qingnian has won again.
Prince Huai Ning sat on the tai shi chair, he was completely silent.
From the very beginning, he had said that he would target Xu Qingnian, he would target Xu Qingnian, he would target Xu Qingnian.
When Xu Qingnian killed the Fan merchants, he had clearly said that he wanted to target Xu Qingnian, but what about the clan kings from all over the world? One by one, they did not put Xu Qingnian in their eyes.
They allowed Xu Qingnian to develop his waterwheel and do whatever he wanted within the Great Wei Dynasty.
As a result, Xu Qingnian has become so powerful that no one can do anything to him, and he has started to think up some schemes and tricks.
Are these people out of their minds?
Prince Huining really couldn’t stand it.
If he had listened to himself earlier, Xu Qingnian would have died long ago.
When Xu Qingnian asked for the holy will to kill his son, he should have been wiped out. At that time, the Great Wei Palace of Literature was still in place, the va*sal kings were strong, and the barbarians could attack Great Wei and create external problems.
The people of Great Wei were also not well fed and could have caused trouble.
What happened?
The result is that this one says wait, that one says the time is not yet ripe, and there are others who don’t even take Xu Qingnian into account.
Now what?
Those who didn’t put Xu Qingnian in their sights were basically all dead.
As for those who despised Xu Qingnian, they were even worse off, being humiliated by Xu Qingnian before being killed.
Is this interesting?
Prince Huaining’s heart was tired, he was really tired, he had won a game of chess but was killed by these people.
If he had listened to himself, there would not have been so many things to do.
D*mn it.
All these people deserve to die.
Go to hell.
The King is not playing anymore.
All of you, get lost.
“Cao Nima.”
“Why the hell did I fall for these people’s bullSh*t.”
An angry cursing sound rang out in the king’s residence, a cursing sound full of resentment, full of stifled anger, but more than that, it was angry.
But after a while, abruptly, Prince Huaining could not help but frown.
He muttered a word to himself.
“These dogs, could they be the spies sent by Xu Qingnian?”
Doubtful voices rang out.
When things had come to this point, a bizarre thought suddenly surfaced to Prince Huaining.
He seriously suspected that these people were all spies invited by Xu Qingnian to work undercover beside him, just to hold him back.
It was almost impossible, but at this point, Prince Huai Ning had to be suspicious.
Inside Kyoto.
By the lake.
Xunzi looked at the sight and could not help but frown slightly.
Buddha’s light rushed into the sky, rendering the whole of Great Wei Kyoto, golden.
Just as quickly, Xunzi dumped all the fish he had just caught into the lake, put on his bucket hat and left the place.
And there was a street.
A man, too, looked up quietly at the radiant golden light.
He was Hua Xinyun.
Since leaving the Great Wei Palace of Literature, he had found a random place to live.
Now, he was already the Minister of Rites, and had little presence in the imperial court, nor did he have much of a presence among the people.
On weekdays, apart from doing some official work, he just reads.
When he saw this scene, Hua Xinyun’s eyes were filled with longing and resignation.
But after a long while.
Hua Xinyun still withdrew his gaze.
It appeared silent.
“”World Hung is immeasurable, the heavens and the world, all cla*ses of beings, no one can know the Buddha, the Buddha’s power is fearless, liberation from all the samadhi, and all the rest of the Buddha’s dharma, no one can measure it, originally from countless Buddhas, fully practising all the paths, very deep and subtle dharma, difficult to see and difficult to understand.”
At this moment, the sound of the Buddha’s voice was heard.
The true body of the Buddha appeared and recited the Buddha’s verse.
The sound of the Buddha shook the heavens and earth, resounding through millions of miles of mountains and rivers.
The true body of the Buddha.
Reflecting the heavens.
At this moment, the divine monk Huijue’s face was incomparably pale.
The sutra written by the Tianzhu Temple for five hundred years had been recognised by heaven and earth, evolving a world of ultimate bliss for the Buddhist sect that could spread for ten thousand miles.
However, the sutra recited by Xu Qingnian could evolve the true body of Rudra, and the difference between the two with a hundred thousand miles was an insult to the true body of Rudra.
The Buddha has already appeared.
What else is there to argue about? What else is there to say?
Defeat.
A complete defeat.
A complete and utter defeat.
When he looked at Xu Qingnian, he was no longer looking at a man, but at a monster, a monster of immense horror.
He was no longer looking at a human being, but at a monster, a monster of immense horror.
This kind of person is rare in the world, transcending all things, having both Confucianism and Daoist thought, and even greater wisdom in Buddhism.
To be honest, the divine monk Hui Jue somehow felt that Xu Qingnian was not the reincarnation of any Buddha, but the reincarnation of the Buddha.
Of all the people in this world who could achieve this level, apart from the Buddha, he really could not think of anyone who could do so?
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Buddha said, the world is a sea of suffering, Buddha’s Dharma is to teach people, to teach people first, Buddha must not compel the world, Buddha must not deceive the living beings, these worlds are not the realm of ultimate bliss, the Lesser Vehicle too.”
The magnificent voice of the Buddha rang out.
Above the vault of heaven.
With just one palm, the 800 scriptures written by the scripture debating monks were destroyed, and the vision of ten thousand miles completely dissipated like smoke.
The Buddha’s world of bliss on the Western Continent was reduced to nothing at this moment.
This palm also completely shattered all the beautiful dreams of the Buddhist sect.
The world was shocked.
At this moment, everyone could not help but consider one thing: who was Xu Qingnian?
How could he know the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism?
But at that very moment, the voice of the divine monk Hui Jue rang out.
“This is not possible.”
“This is my Buddhist sect’s ultimate world, how can it be nothingness?”
“Xu Qingnian, what kind of manipulation have you done?”
“Evolving the true body of Rudra to destroy the roots of my Buddhist sect?”
“Have you obtained the True Sutra of the Buddha.”
At this moment, Divine Monk Hui Jue let out a roaring sound.
His heart was dripping with blood.
The vision just now was a sutra that had been deduced by the Buddhist sect in the Western Continent for five hundred years, the ultimate destination for the disciples of the Buddhist sect.
He believed beyond measure that this world of ultimate bliss was the ultimate destination for the disciples of the Buddhist sect.
So he was willing to dedicate his life to the Buddhist sect, only hoping that one day, he would be able to enter this world.
But today.
Xu Qingnian had shattered his dream, causing his faith to completely collapse at this moment.
If there is no this world of bliss, then what is the home of the Buddhist sect?
When one dies, does one die after all?
He doesn’t.
He was unwilling to accept this fact.
What he would prefer is to be able to go to the world of bliss after death, to be able to listen to the Buddha’s teachings and to be carefree, rather than to disappear completely.
If this were the case, he would have fear, fear of the future, fear of death.
So he roared in anger, believing that the true body of the Buddha was merely Xu Qingnian using a secret method or obtaining the true sutra of the Buddha and reciting it today, doing tricks and trying to destroy the roots of the Buddhist sect.
It was just this statement.
This moment.
There was compa*sion in Xu Qingnian’s eyes.
This pity made the divine monk Hui Jue feel disgusted, annoyed, and uncomfortable all over.
He did not need others to pity him.
He wanted to pity the world, because the world was suffering, and he himself was not suffering.
So he was extremely disgusted by this kind of pity.
Especially Xu Qingnian’s pity.
But the more he did so, the more the pity in Xu Qingnian’s eyes grew stronger.
Didn’t this guy like this?
Didn’t he like to look like the world was pitiful every day?
Then how about Xu Qingnian let him feel this feeling?
To be honest, Xu Qingnian also extremely resented this kind of pitying face and gaze for the world, making it seem as if everyone in the world was suffering and he was the savior.
“Xu Qingnian.”
“You answer the poor monk.”
“If you do not answer, the poor monk is not convinced.”
“This debate, the poor monk does not admit it.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke, his voice was like thunder, at this moment he was on the verge of becoming a demon.
No, to be more precise, he was about to become a demon.
Xu Qingnian did not reply.
He just looked at him like this, just like looking at a poor man.
Today, Xu Qingnian was going to make Divine Monk Huijue reveal his demons completely and utterly.
Five hundred years ago, Zhu Sheng debated the Dharma and expelled the Little Thunder Sound Temple from the Central Continent for a full five hundred years.
Today, Xu Qingnian also wants to have Tianzhu Temple expelled for five hundred years, or even a thousand years.
Even when Zhu Sheng argued the Dharma, he only made the Buddhists vomit blood and returned home in disastrous defeat.
And Xu Qingnian is even more ruthless. He wants to make the divine monk Hui Jue go into demons, so that his obsessions will be completely exposed, because only in this way can the world see that the disciples of the Buddhist sect are not as magnificent as they think.
They are also mortals, just like ordinary people.
Don’t pretend to be a god all day long and act as if the world is suffering.
It is up to the world to decide whether the world is suffering or not.
It is not for the disciples of Buddhism to preach, to pretend to be a god and to scare the world, but in the end they are just mortal beings.
And here they are pretending to be so uncommon.
“Say it.”
“Why don’t you say anything?”
“Has it been guessed by the poor monk?”
“The true body of Rudra is indeed real, but the world of bliss is also real, but it is you who suppressed my Buddhist vision with a vision.”
“Your aim is to stop the Buddhists from crossing over to the east and prevent the Buddhists from entering Great Wei.”
“Xu Qingnian, you are so ruthless.”
“You asked Zhu Sheng to kill 80% of the Confucian scholars, creating an infinite number of sins, causing changes in heaven and earth and breeding endless demons.”
“We Buddhists do not want to see the world suffer, nor do we want to see the world in flames, risking the debate on the Dharma, carrying the pressure of the heavens, and walking step by step to the Great Wei.”
“In order to let the world live through this calamity, in order to let the world live, free of worries, but you have obstructed it in every way, just because Buddhism makes people open to wisdom.”
“You are afraid that your power will be lost, you are afraid that your position will be lost, you are afraid that your prestige will be lost, so you recite the Rudraksha Sutra and use unseemly means to destroy my Buddhist world of bliss.”
“And also destroyed the path of self-help for the world’s living beings, did you not?”
Like a madman, Divine Monk Hui Jue rebuked Xu Qingnian.
But.
Xu Qingnian, ignoring him, still had compa*sion in his eyes, exactly the same as the eyes of the Huijue Divine Monk before, even more intense than the Huijue Divine Monk.
This moment.
The Huijue Divine Monk was furrowed by this gaze of Xu Qingnian’s.
“Xu Qingnian, don’t look at me with such a gaze.”
He roared out.
The Buddha Dharma was monstrous, turning into a torrent of power and suppressing towards Xu Qingnian.
“How dare you.”
“Unbridled.”
“Do you want to seek death?”
At this moment, a voice rang out within the capital of Great Wei, and the first to speak up was Daoist Wudu, who was outright furious.
First-grade Heavenly Might filled the air, and his eyes were filled with a murderous aura.
How could he do it after saying no? You really don’t care about these First Grades?
Do you want to die?
Bang.
However, the Buddhist power of Divine Monk Huijue was directly blocked by the Hao Rang Wen Zhong, causing layers of Hao Rang Qi to ripple out.
Likewise, Daoist Wudu’s heavenly might was blocked by a powerful Buddhist force; it was the Eight Hundred Scripture Defending Monks, who made their first move to block this heavenly might.
Unfortunately, it was a first-rate celestial might.
The eight hundred scripture-defending monks all spat out blood, blocking this heavenly might, but it was also extremely unpleasant.
“Divine Monk, don’t be obsessive.”
“Divine Monk, do not cling.”
“It cannot be so.”
They spoke in unison, and could also see that Divine Monk Hui Jue was somewhat possessed, so they were the first to speak up, trying to get Divine Monk Hui Jue to wake up, he couldn’t go on like this, otherwise, something big was going to happen.
“Shut up.”
“Shut up, all of you.”
“The roots of my Buddhist sect are going to be destroyed by Xu Qingnian today, what kind of obsession is this?”
“As a disciple of the Buddhist sect, how can I witness the extinction of Buddhism?”
“Xu Qingnian, today, the poor monk will trade his life for his life, and tame you as much as he tames me.”
Divine Monk Hui Jue roared, he was completely possessed, his body was filled with Buddhist light, but it was black in colour.
His obsession was so deep that he turned into a devil at this moment.
His Buddha light enveloped everything, turning into a terrifying karmic fire that burned itself, before rushing towards Xu Qingnian, wanting to die with him.
Suddenly striking out, no one could have predicted that the divine monk Hui Jue would hold this thought.
He wanted to die with Xu Qingnian.
In his view, Xu Qingnian was the greatest hidden danger to the Buddhist Sect.
He had to kill Xu Qingnian, even if he had to die with Xu Qingnian.
So he did not hesitate to burn his own Buddhist teachings and did his utmost to bind himself to Xu Qingnian, burning himself with karmic fire.
This was something that no one had expected.
Neither the Immortal Sect One, nor the people of the Great Wei Dynasty, nor even Prince Huai Ning and Wang Chaoyang had expected that Divine Monk Hui Jue would be so terrifying?
“Unbridled.”
“You really want to die when you do.”
“I will kill you.”
“If anything happens to Aiqing Xu, Great Wei will swing its troops to the Western Continent and ma*sacre everything.”
At this moment, a voice rang out, and within the capital of Great Wei, the six First Cla*ses directly struck at the first opportunity, especially Jian Wuji, who was overbearing, and a sword qi cut through, wanting to directly kill Huijue.
The sword qi was matchless, but the surplice on the divine monk Huijue’s body erupted with immeasurable Buddhist light, blocking the fatal blow and buying him time to die with Xu Qingnian.
In the Great Wei Imperial Palace, the Empress stood up straight away and gathered the National Dragon Cauldron to protect Xu Qingnian, while her eyes were filled with killing intent and she looked incomparably angry.
She was very direct, if Xu Qingnian made the slightest mistake, she would wave her army to the Western Continent and destroy all the Buddhist sects in the world, domineering and direct, returning blood for blood.
“Thou shalt not.”
“Huijue, you are reckless.”
And from the middle of the Western Continent came a voice, three rushing beams of Buddha light surfaced, this was the roar of the Garan divine monk, he sensed it at the first moment, so he gathered the power of the three Buddha weapons, trying to block this.
But in reality, there was one thing that was noticed by very few people in the ministry.
That was that the Garan divine Monk appeared to be at the most critical moment, but when the Huijue divine Monk went into a demon, he did not make a move, but instead made a move at this time.
It looked as if he was going to help Xu Qingnian in time, but it was obviously too late.
The difference between Xu Qingnian and Hui Jue was only a hundred feet.
And the Western Continent was hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, and even if the Buddha’s light penetrated everything, but hundreds of thousands of miles, it could not arrive instantly.
It would need to wait for a moment, and that moment of time would be enough for the divine monk Hui Jue to die with Xu Qingnian.
Of course, it was not always possible, perhaps when it was really not expected, it was just a malicious speculation.
The divine monk Garan also wanted Xu Qingnian to die.
But the person who wanted Xu Qingnian to die the most was not the divine monk, but Wang Chaoyang and Prince Huai Ning.
Especially Prince Huai Ning, who clenched his fist and watched all this with a deadly gaze.
This was the right thing to do.
Don’t nag so much with Xu Qingnian, where is the reasoning, killing Xu Qingnian is better than everything.
Fear, only to lose for life.
However, just at this moment, Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
“As I have heard, at one time, Bhagavan was at the top of Vulture Peak Mountain in the King’s Shed City, in the most pure and profound dharma realm, the realm of the Buddhas, where the Buddha resides. With a great congregation of ninety-eight thousand ruminants, all of them arahants.”
Xu Qingnian spoke.
He had been on guard against the divine monk Huijue, and now that the moment of truth had arrived, Xu Qingnian stopped talking nonsense and directly recited the Golden Light Most Victorious King Sutra.
He wanted to completely and utterly crush the confidence of the Divine Monk Huijue.
He also wanted to make the Buddhists suffer a great loss.
He said that he had only obtained the True Sutra of the Buddha, right?
Then Xu Qingnian would let him know what the true sutra of Buddhism was.
The sound of the scriptures shook the heavens and the earth, and at this moment, another figure appeared.
These were the celestial gods of the worlds, standing on the vault of heaven, watching over the world.
Terrifying Sanskrit sounds resounded through every inch of the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, and countless heavenly deities appeared, a divine Buddha’s silhouette standing in the vault of heaven, so dense that it rendered the world into an earthly fairyland.
At this moment, countless demons and devils let out incomparable screams of misery, and those who were infected with evil spirits vanished into thin air on the spot.
They hid in the abyss, so fearful that they did not dare to appear again.
Once they appeared, they were only afraid that they would die without a burial place on the spot.
“Another supreme Buddhist sutra, another supreme Buddhist sutra.”
“The Immeasurable Heavenly God is revealed, what kind of person is Xu Qingnian anyway? Why does he know so many Buddhist teachings?”
“Such astonishing Buddhist teachings, Xu Qingnian is as terrifying as this.”
“The divine monk, Hui Jue, has become completely demonized and would not hesitate to trade his own life for Xu Qingnian’s, how ruthless.”
“Is this the Buddhist sect? It’s really vicious, to use such tactics when you can’t argue the Dharma is really disgusting.”
All kinds of voices rang out, people were first shocked that Xu Qingnian had recited such Buddhist sutras again, and then immediately spitefully cursed the methods of the divine monk Huijue, which were extremely dirty and shoddy.
“Om Mani Padme Hum.”
Only, at this moment, the infinite Heavenly Gods spoke in unison, and Rudra’s true body even stretched out its Buddha palm as the six true words of the Buddha Sect rang out.
It fixed the divine monk Huijue in place.
The terrifying Buddhist power tilted down like a waterfall, all falling on the Huijue divine Monk.
The suffering of the karmic fires added to the monk’s face caused his brow to twist and his face to grimace as he stood in front of Xu Qingnian, less than a foot away, burning with karmic fires, and he was in agony.
But his eyes were filled with endless hatred and anger.
“Xu Qingnian.”
“You deceived the Buddha, you obstructed my Buddhist sect’s eastern journey for the sake of power and dynastic status.”
“What exactly are your intentions?”
The divine monk Hui Jue let out a questioning voice, he was in too much pain, all this pain turned into anger, he threw all the faults, all of them to Xu Qingnian, thinking that all of this was caused by Xu Qingnian.
But.
At this very moment.
Xu Qingnian stretched out her hands, and then joined them together.
The gods and Buddhas in the sky also stretched out their hands and slowly joined their hands, in sync with Xu Qingnian.
“Huijue.”
“You are obsessed with entering the demon, full of benevolence and morality, but in reality the Buddha you have learned is nothing more than the Buddha of self.”
“You have practiced Buddhism to this point, for the sole purpose of entering the world of bliss after death and being free from suffering, not being a true Buddhist monk.”
“What Buddhism to the east, what the world’s living beings, everything is just your excuse.”
“If you really have the world at heart, why do you need to cross the Dharma eastwards?”
“The true scriptures can be propagated without going east.”
“You have failed to argue the Dharma, but you want to ignite your own karma and die with me.”
“You are already motivated to kill and have become a demon.”
“Today, I will put an end to your hypocrisy.”
Xu Qingnian glared angrily as he raised his hand, and the real body of Rudra raised his hand, then slapped down fiercely.
The heavenly might was terrifying.
Unstoppable and unparalleled.
This was Rudra’s true body, and as the palm fell, the divine monk Huijue was unable to resist this heavenly might.
The karmic fire burned and withered his flesh, and the Buddha’s divine palm was about to destroy his form and spirit.
“No.”
“Master Xu, can you spare the poor monk’s senior brother.”
At this moment, the voice of the divine monk Garan rang out as he spoke in advance, hoping that Xu Qingnian would spare his senior brother.
Unfortunately, as the Buddha’s palm fell, the flesh of Divine Monk Hui Jue’s body directly broke apart, and there was no way to save him.
Only his original spirit remained.
It was still entangled in karmic fire, in agony, and suffused with wisps of black gas.
This was the obsession in his heart and his demonic aura. He had become a demon, his face was hideous, and his original spirit had evolved into a demon, looking extremely ugly and terrifying.
His teeth and claws are open, his skin is black, and his forehead is high, making him terrifying.
If a Buddha turns into a devil, he will look like this and be even more terrifying.
“Why?”
“Why?”
“Dare I ask Buddha, is there a world of ultimate bliss in my Buddhist sect?”
The devil evolved by the divine monk Hui Jue made a roaring sound; he was still alive because the obsession in his heart was too deep.
He still inquired whether there was a world of ultimate bliss on this earth.
But he did not ask Xu Qingnian anymore.
Instead, he asked Buddha Ru-lai.
“Buddha has three thousand worlds of ultimate bliss.”
But to no one’s surprise, Ru-lai’s true body gave an answer.
This was something that even Xu Qingnian had not expected, and actually gave an answer.
“Where is it?”
“Why can’t I see it.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke, and he had gone mad.
“There is dust in your heart, so naturally you cannot see it.”
“The Mahayana Buddha is revealed, the Ultimate Bliss is revealed.”
The Buddha sounded, once again answering the divine monk Huijue.
“Mahayana Buddha manifestation? What is the Mahayana Buddha? Who understands the Mahayana Buddha?”
At the mention of Mahayana Buddhism again, the divine monk Huijue could not help but speak, his voice full of impatience and anger.
“The World Honoured One has come forth and the Mahayana is revealed.”
Kṛṣṇa’s true body replied.
The world’s beings were told that when the World Honoured One appeared, the Mahayana would be revealed.
“Who is the World Honoured One again?”
The divine monk Hui Jue continued to ask, he had gone mad and was so wrapped up in his obsessions that there was nothing more to say.
Only, this question was not just for him, the world was also curious as to who was the Buddha’s World Honoured One.
At this point, Rudra’s true body gave an answer.
“The one who calls my true body is the current World Honoured One.”
These words were spoken.
All the Buddhists of the Western Continent were completely frozen.
On the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the Central Continent, all living beings froze.
Was Xu Qingnian really the reincarnation of the Buddha’s World Honoured One?
Although, the Little Thunder Sound Temple in the Western Continent claimed that Xu Qingnian was the reincarnation of the Buddha.
But this kind of recognition was nothing, after all, it could also be interpreted as the Little Thunder Sound Temple seeing the wind and the rudder.
But now it was different.
Rudra’s true body had manifested.
He personally acknowledged that Xu Qingnian was the reincarnation of the Buddha, the World Honoured One of the current world.
This was a supreme honour.
It was like a saint reviving and saying that Xu Qingnian was the reincarnation of a saint.
Those who read under the sky would see Xu Qingnian as if they were saints.
“No.”
“No.”
“No, he is not the World Honoured One, he is a demon, he wants to harm my Buddhist sect.”
“You are not Rulai, you are not Rulai, you are a false Buddha.”
The divine monk Hui Jue roared, his eyes bared, unwilling to admit all this, nor did he want to admit all this.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Kṛṣṇa’s true body chanted the Buddha’s hymn, and in the next moment, the vast Buddha’s power fell down and directly transcended the divine monk Huijue, directly.
There was no verbosity.
It was just at this moment.
Kṛṣṇa’s true body looked into the distance.
He did not know what he was looking at.
The next moment, he slowly spoke.
“I hope that the World Honoured One, will pa*s on the Mahayana Dharma at an early date.”
“A great tribulation is coming, we will help the World Honored One.”
The voice rang out.
The next moment.
The Immeasurable Heavenly Deities, the true bodies of Rudra, transformed into billions of Buddha lights, gathering the thoughts of all beings, transforming into twelve Buddha beads, reflecting everything in the heavens, and adding to the immeasurable Buddha Dharma.
To help Xu Qingnian.
Boom.
Vast Buddha power entered Xu Qingnian’s body, and this moment of unparalleled benefit came.
